I might start a poll to see if people would be interested coming to a launch night at the dealership - I'm not sure if this breaches any rules for the forum though...

Full Monty Member 513 Member For: 17y 2m 24d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 02/03/08 06:56 AM Author Share Posted 02/03/08 06:56 AM (edited) Throttle body is in the middle of the new intake plenum on the top, The cold pipe from the cooler routes directly to it, and bends 90 degree downward into the throttle body.I imagine you could easily buy a BA - BF lower plenum and any current aftermarket plenum will fit.The pipework, both hot and cold side has a clamp join section just before it enters below the headlight on each side, so easy underbonnet removal and replacement with aftermarket, note they have now located the boost sensor right at the throttlebody (after the cooler, rather than before as previously done).also there is an access hole, filled with a large hex bolt in the front end of the plenum chamber, not sure what this is for?

I hope they are released with new styling.There are 19 inch 5 spokers optional if you don't like the XR5 style 18's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil F6 Donating Members 830 Member For: 18y 8m 8d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 02/03/08 11:01 AM Share Posted 02/03/08 11:01 AM My guess is that these cars are going to be restricted in stock trim as I think that are going to have a smaller turbo and piping with smaller plenum and shorter intake runners it will not produce the same low end torque as the BA-BFs. This could be good news to BA and BF users!!Ah, I think you'll find the complete opposite - they'll make better low down torque than the BA-BF. They might struggle to make big power with the smaller turine wheel though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
